The first timelapse of monsoon season.
I’ve set up my WebCam to create small timelapse movies of the scene out my window. Here’s the one from yesterday, the first day this season that clouds began to build up and come our way.
You’ll have to click the movie frame to play it; I’ve set it up like this so the folks who don’t want the download don’t need it clogging up their bandwidth. You’ll also need QuickTime player (or a related plugin, I guess) to view it.
If you like this kind of stuff, please let me know. I might use the larger WebCam image to make a movie, but I won’t bother if no one wants to see it.
Also, I know the camera’s placement isn’t perfect. My Mexican Bird of Paradise bush has gotten quite large and is blocking the view. Unfortunately, the camera has to be within cable distance of my Mac. Again, if folks like the WebCam and the movies — and take a moment to tell me using the Comments link or form below — I’m far more likely to fine tune things to improve them.

I like it but I can just look outside to see the same thing. (I live in arizona too)

Cool! But, yes, it’s a tad small. I like your webcam still images too.

I’ve set up the larger view to start making movies, too. The next time there’s a good one — probably tomorrow morning, since today’s already cloudy — I’ll post that instead. I’m just concerned about file size. We’ll see how big the file gets.
